Minority Behavioral Health Group

Minority Behavioral Health Group (MBHG) was established in 1998 to address the mental health needs of growing minority populations in Summit County, Ohio. As the first and only African-American nationally accredited and state-certified community mental health agency in Ohio, we combine cultural competence with professional expertise to serve underserved communities. Our team of psychologists, counselors, pastors, and case managers shares the cultural and ethnic backgrounds of the individuals we serve, ensuring a deep understanding of clients' worldviews. We utilize an African-centered philosophy of treatment and education to promote wellness across individual, family, and community levels. Our services are designed to foster human potential and spiritual growth through culturally appropriate interventions.

We specialize in individual and group therapy, mental health assessments, prevention programs, and school-based services tailored to address emotional, behavioral, and psychological challenges. Our prevention initiatives focus on reducing substance abuse, mental illness, and suicide risks while promoting emotional wellness and critical thinking. Through Ohios COVID Care Program, we extend outreach services to support families affected by public health crises. With decades of experience, our team delivers mobile, community-based psychiatric care that adapts to clients' evolving needs. We maintain rigorous professional standards while emphasizing transparency, cultural sensitivity, and holistic well-being in all our programs.
